About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years through my own pets and helping family and friends with theirs. I have experience training dogs in basic skills such as sit, down, stay, touch, recall, heel, leave it, and go to place. I also have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language, including how to redirect unwanted behaviors using reward-based training. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to large and giant breeds, as well as cats and puppies. I have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and basic obedience training. I especially enjoy working with puppies and practicing skills such as sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, and impulse control using reward-based training. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and engaged while they’re in my care. I balance pet care with my school and work schedule, which gives me availability at different times throughout the week. I’m generally available mornings, with additional afternoon and evening availability on certain days. My schedule varies by day, so please include your preferred visit or walk time when sending a request. I’ll confirm that I can accommodate your pet’s schedule before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will communicate with you during each visit. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, puppies, and cats.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Raman took great care of Bella! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt confident that my cat was in great hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Danielle was a great cat sitter for us. She is very friendly and reliable. She sent us photos and videos each day of our kitties and was flexible with our continually changing schedule. Would definitely recommend. We look forward to having her watch our pets in the future!”
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
“Helen was truly excellent. My cat immediately liked her and I know he enjoyed his time with her because she sent me so many (welcome) videos and pictures. She updated me not only whenever she was coming and going but when and how much he was eating so there is no doubt in my mind that she spent a great deal of time at my house with my cat despite having her own family, and that she spent lots of loving time with my fur baby. She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left. I feel much better planning trips knowing that I now have more than one dependable pet sitter. Highly recommend.”
About: I've had animals in my life since I was little. I connect well with them. Care is a top priority, detail oriented, focused and loving. My dog was a shelter pup and was fearful when I first got him. With love and attention, he's grown into a sweet, wonderful dog. His breed makes him nervous and sounds scare him but he's ready to be a lovebug at any time. I don't have reviews yet, but please give me a chance so I can! I work my own hours during the week PT-FT, depending on the dates. I'm off weekends. I can work with you. Hard worker. Detail oriented. Compassionate. I can follow directions based on your needs. I prefer to care for your pet in your home, where they feel safe. Trust / Safety are vital.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up learning about their care through my father, a respected veterinarian. I’ve always had animals of my own and have also cared for the pets of close friends and family. I’m compassionate, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Weekday availability: Monday–Friday, mornings through 3:00 PM. Currently unavailable on weekends. I am a single mother of two. Student as I build my career. It would be such a pleasure to help you with Dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and loving companionship. I’m happy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care the
About: I started pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors about 2 years ago, but I also grew up with household pets! Throughout my experience at home, and pet sitting for others, I have dealt with elderly, physically disabled, mentally disabled and hyperactive animals. All of these precious animals have given me the opportunity to learn how to be an extremely effective caregiver for varying situations. I also currently work as a dog daycare/boarding attendant where I work with 20 or more dogs at once, doing constant health checks, feeding, bathing services. I currently work part time Tuesday - Thursday. These work days often start early and end early, so scheduling appointments on these days would be better for after 3-4pm. All other days of the week are more flexible! Depending on the situation in your home, or with your animal, I have the ability to analyze animal behavior. This means I will understand when or when not to approach the animal. Understanding this could also help with checking the animals well-being, and proceeding with animal care tasks.
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’ve been caring for pets for years, building a network of happy clients through neighbors, family friends, and word of mouth. Dogs, cats, puppies, seniors — I’ve done it all, from quick drop-ins to six-month house sits. Whatever your pet needs, I show up with a full heart, active energy and a real routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I pride myself on being someone pet owners can truly trust. During the LA wildfires, I was house sitting near the evacuation zones when I made the call to safely pack up my client’s pets and their most precious belongings and get out, keeping everyone and everything safe until they could come home. That’s the kind of sitter I am: calm, present, and completely committed. I genuinely love this work. Waking up with a dog to walk, taking them out on hikes through the hills, spending the day giving them cuddles and all the attention they deserve, it truly fills my cup. Your pets won’t just be cared for, they’ll be showered with joy and mirth! Based in the Woodland Hills and Topanga area, available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and daycare. Pet care is woven into my daily life naturally and genuinely. I keep an open, flexible schedule which means I’m truly present with the animals in my care — mornings start with walks and feeding routines, days are filled with playtime, cuddles and attention, and evenings wind down with the kind of calm, settled care that helps pets feel secure. I don’t rush off to a nine to five. I’m here, and your pet feels that. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are everything to me. In my own space, I live with my cat Milo and keep a calm, cozy, pet friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. A partner is often home as well, so your pet always has loving company and is never left alone for long. The Topanga and Woodland Hills area means we’re surrounded by nature with beautiful trails and open space right at our doorstep for walks, hikes and outdoor adventures. In your home I adapt completely to your pet’s existing routine, environment and needs. I learn their habits, respect their space and follow your instructions carefully. I treat every home I work in as if it were my own - with attentiveness, care and a deep sense of responsibility. Your pet, your home and everything you love will be looked after with the same devotion I bring to my own.
About: I have taken care of all animal types from livestock to small animals like cats and reptiles. I grew up on a ranch in Colorado showing, training and raising goats, horses, rabbits, dogs, and more. I love animals and being active, and I’m excited to meet your furry family! I am currently a full time student at California Lutheran University and am free for walks and check ins on weekdays before 10:30am and after 4:30pm, full flexibility on weekends. I always treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. When I’m doing drop‑ins or house sitting, I keep your space tidy, follow all instructions closely, and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured the way you prefer. Your animals safety is my top priority — I stick to familiar walking routes, avoid unsafe areas, and use your preferred leash, harness, and walking style. I’m attentive, calm, and patient with all animals, and I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, routine, and affection.You’ll always get clear communication and updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.
About: I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their dog! 😊 I’ve been taking care of my friends’ dogs regularly for years — sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer stays — and I genuinely love having them around.

Meghan has been great as a pet sitter for my cats! After I left for vacation, I realized it was going to be really hot out for a couple days so I contacted Meghan and explained I needed her to set up a couple Fans and open the sliding doors a bit for better air circulation and set out more water for my cats. Meghan did everything I asked and took great care of my kitties, for which I am grateful.
As usual, Daniel took great care of our cats while we were traveling, even going into our home which was under evacuation warning from nearby fires offering to do what was needed to make sure our pets were safe. Can’t say enough great things about his dedication and care.
